Working out in a void

with rue i am base

I want to re-invest my brain in sorta-pragmatic hip cat philosophical motivations.

anybody else want to do this? we can have cocktails and play apples to apples too.

THINK TANK

mementomori visualizes the the real time movement of the Hayward Fault Line

“In Mori, the immediacy of the telematic embrace between earth and visitor questions the authenticity of mediated experience in the context of chance, human fragility, and geological endurance.”

where’s waldo?

where is everyone?

In 1975 Ant Farm sent a 1959 Cadillac through a wall of flaming TV sets in «Media Burn», a deconstruction/demolition of the media spectacle par excellence.

Walking home tonight I realized something important. One must have solidarity with one’s solitarity in order to effectively manage, well, everything. I know I made that word up, but that’s also important (making up words) for creating a new culture that we can all agree upon in order to annihilate in 50 years time. I suppose that doesn’t really make sense.

Here is one take on aloneness. With a good graph, in addition.

The Solitary Artist. Noble in their cause. Alone in their suffering. Starving in their kitchen.

  Tehching Hsieh

  Joseph Beuys

  Marina Abramovic

   Martha Rosler

Why do we suffer alone? Because it is worse to suffer together.

Let us flourish in both solitarity and solidarity.

Together, we can make great things alone.

eerily similar to:

I still can’t make up my mind if burning man or dubai are mind blowing or not. Perhaps it’s because my mind is blown?

ps. click the photos for better ones.

Let us also consider entering the void as opposed to filling the void.

Entering is allowing the void to embrace you, filling is attempting to negate the void. Can we enter the void together and not attempt to fill it? How many of us will fit in the void before it is full? Is the void within or without?

Q: How many artists can you put in the void before it is full?

A: 21 minutes.

Experience the layers of aloneness. Startlingly similar to the layers of the burning man and palm.

This morning Taylor and I were discussing the role of Gwen Stefani in 90s music consumerism.

Gwen Stefani was probably one of my biggest influences in my childhood, although in hindsight her fate has become slightly tragic:

“Suddenly evolution does something absolutely amazing here, when the young discover that the grown-ups don’t know what it’s all about. So we have the young world doing its own thinking; and without any experience, it had to make many mistakes. But it’s getting now where it’s not being politically exploited the way it was at first. I find the young everywhere around the world are completely intent in thinking about the total world. They’re not impressed with local nations anymore. There’s a young world coming along, each child born successively in the presence of less misinformation. Just think, until I was eight years of age, I had been told it’s inherently impossible for man to fly. I’ve had undue, enormous amounts of misinformation. Each child, now, is being born in the presence of a great deal more reliable information.
I’m getting letters now—not very often, about five a year—from children who were born after humans got to the moon. How they find I’m someone they can write to I don’t know, but they do, and they write incredibly beautiful letters, and the syntax couldn’t be better. They say they are familiar with the critical path of all the things that had to be done before the blast-off to get humanity over to the moon and back safely. They say, “Humanity can do anything it needs to do; why don’t we make this thing work?” So a young world is coming along which may very likely exercise that option.”
-Buckminster Fuller

Yo, do everything with nothing! We got it!

no wonder nobody buys printed magazines any more– we don’t have amazing shit like this around these days!

This site has tons of stuff on Manson, Ed Wood, crazy pin-ups… everything I hold near and dear.
